My husband and I love getting the Hawaiian poke bowl and spam musubis here. We often dine-in and enjoy our lunch here, however, the one thing I've noticed is a decline in their quality of customer service. It is surprising to say, but the high schoolers who served us a couple of weeks ago provided a better experience than one of the older employees who served me the last time we went here. Let's just say they were a little too passive aggressive for my liking. Other than that, the food is splendid. read more

Hands down my new favorite poké spot! This place is perfect for a quick to-go lunch or dinner. The service is fast and incredibly friendly. I loved the large assortment of fresh ingredients as well as their hot food menu. Everything tasted fresh and really delicious. The poke bowl was top notch, the popcorn chicken was spicy and a little sweet with super tender chicken that was freshly made. Some of the hot items like rice balls and takoyaki are available for pick up in a table top warmer for a quick grab and go. I'm looking forward to my next visit here! read more

Poke Koma - Tacoyaki - Poke Near Me - Alameda, California

I ordered a large bowl from Poke Koma with salmon, yellowtail, and tuna as my proteins over a bed of sushi rice and thought my bowl was delicious. I seldom get poke bowls for lunch because they're often really pricey compared to a meal like a bahn mi sandwich, but once in a while, I'll allow myself to splurge and treat myself to a nice lunch. To this end, I totally felt like my lunch from Poke Koma was worth it. I was really happy with the freshness of the fish in the bowl I ordered, as well as the massive portion size. I finished about half of the bowl before I was stuffed. All the non-fish elements were on-point as well: the fried shallots and wonton crisps remained crunchy when I got my bowl; the avocado was roughly mashed and tasted perfectly ripe; the seaweed salad was as good as any that I've had at other Hawaiian poke places. I would definitely stop by again if I'm looking to treat myself to a nice lunch. read more

Hubby and I have been wanting Poke for quite some time now and the place that we usually go to unfortunately closed down. I was looking around to see if there was any other places that sells Poke and are able to cook the fish for us (we cannot do raw fish; we've tried, it just didn't work out for us). I found Poke Koma and saw that they do a Baked Bowl. The store is a bit hard to find if you're not walking, because there is no big store sign to indicate where the store is located at. I asked Hubby to loop around and find parking and I'll go walk to find the store. Upon arriving I was greeted with friendly smiles (even though we are all wearing masks, you can see the smiles through their eyes). They asked if I was getting a bowl, but I stated that I was getting their Baked Bowl. All hot foods are located in a warmer, in which there is a sign and the employee also told me to sanitize my hands before opening and grabbing the item I wanted. I asked if they are able to grill/cook up the fish if I am unable to eat raw fish, but they stated that they do not do that, but there are protein items that are cooked already. Upon paying for my item, they provide to me a clean stylist and once I am done, they have a container for sanitizer that I can drop it in. I like that they are adhering to the social distancing and cleanliness. This is our first time trying a Baked Bowl and it's pretty good! I think that there should be a bit more of the sauce on top because some bites have flavor and some didn't. Overall, we liked it, and may be back to try their poke with the cooked protein that they have. read more

Honestly my favorite poke spot of all time. I've tried to see if other places can beat Poke Kama but alas they cannot. What I look for in a poke spot are: 1. Variety of proteins (I rarely see anywhere offer scallops or crawfish and go beyond the usual salmon, spicy tuna) 2. Toppings (love how the imitation crab is included here) 3. The sauces (unique concoctions!) I've also never seen any place offer chips as a base. And to top it off they offer spam masubi that's so good. Spam masubi with bacon and ones with bacon and egg . Drool. Glad you can now order ahead to pick up per Covid Times. read more

Good stuff. I ordered a regular size bowl with ahi, yellowtail, and spicy tuna as my main ingredients. I was easily able to select the options I wanted and place my order for pickup. My order was ready when I arrived and I was quickly on my way. Once I was able to dig in the bowl was great. All the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. I will be back!!! read more

Been here before and it's still amazing. Had a large bowlwhich is made to order, along with a Spam/egg musubi and a pork belly musubi. Yum! Also an Assam milk tea w boba! Very reasonable! read more

Poke Koma - Yum! The crust is amazing and such a generous portion! - Poke Near Me - Alameda, California

This is my go-to poke place in Alameda! I've been coming here on-and-off since they opened, but I'm always sorry when I stray. Clean and airy inside the store and the menu is straight-forward. They have a plethora of fresh seafood options and you can clearly see all of the ingredients behind the glass counter shield before you order them for quality assurance. Consistency is on-point and I can always depend on Poke Koma to meet my expectations based on previous visits. I love that they offer a variety of musubis (bacon + egg) and shave ice/boba for a one-stop shop experience. I was lucky to live in Hawaii in 2015 and this place always takes me right back to the islands (at least in my imagination! ...haha). I always get my order to-go, but they have a few tables if you want to enjoy eating your poke inside the restaurant. read more

This poke place has really good value!! A regular bowl is $15 and it includes literally everything (seaweed salad, crab salad, and avocado). It's the only place that I know that includes all that in the standard cost. The fish tastes fresh and I like how thinly sliced the cucumbers and onions are cut. The rice is cooked well. The sauces are really mid though. I got the spicy mayo, roasted garlic and miso aioli, and lemon ginger aioli. It was fine... not really flavorful though. The wonton chips on top were really crushed up too :-( Overall, this is the best value poke I've seen so far! The quality is good, just the sauces are MEHHHH. Parking in the area is hard because it is all street parking. read more

Poke Koma - Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - Alameda, California

Wonderful staff! Very patient and kind. I came here during lunch rush from the school kiddos but they handled the rush like a champ! I ordered the regular poke which came with 3 proteins and I asked for everything on it! There's lot of options for proteins and toppings, which I appreciated. The poke is pretty pricey for the portion, I expected a bigger container. My sister got a large and it was extra scoops of fish but in the same sized container? It's also super hard to mix the poke around but the poke here is solid! read more

Used to love this place for their Poke, it was amazing. Recently the quality of proteins went downhill. Tuna is not fresh, salmon is chewy and not so fresh either. Today the octopus was so chewy, I had to spit it out. They also changed the bowls from plastic to compostable. It's a great idea, but the new bowls being narrow and tall makes it hard to reach the base of your Poke. So you eat all the proteins and toppings and only after you get to your rice or greens. read more

Quick Summary - My favorite poke spot! Friendly servers, lots of topping and protein options, and consistent quality over the years. I've been coming here for several years now and I ALWAYS leave happy. The fish chunks are hefty and fresh, the toppings are delicious and served from large ice cream scoops, and the servers are efficient and friendly. You get free avocado here which is so rare. I really like the topping options here. They're not super unique per say (ex. fukujinzuke, oshinko, shiitakes, inari at Poke Salad on the other side of Alameda), but they have plenty of the classics that I like. Over the years, they started to expand their menu to include other ready made hot meals, boba, and ice cream. I think by 7, any food that's left is sold at 30% or 50% off, but don't quote me on it. There's a fair amount of seating inside and the environment is quite comfortable, with self-serve utensils and water pre-covid. During COVID, I feel safe ordering and being inside the restaurant, as it's quite spacious with high ceilings. read more

The food is always tasty and they really fill the bowls at lot. But the staff is so rude! Everytime I go in, they rush me even when I'm the only person in there. I ordered shaved ice and they literally tossed it on the table so it made a mess. The employee snickered and walked away. I mentioned I had ordered it with ice cream and there wasn't any. She said "okay, what do you want me to do?" Ummm nothing I guess! Really a bummer because it's one of the healthy places my daughter likes. read more

After years, Poke Koma remains my favorite poke place. But it's also, hands down, my favorite place to eat... not just poke, but anything. The fish is always fresh, the rice is just right, the bowls are always full, and the staff has always been polite, helpful, and happy. Other poke places in the area just disappoint when compared to Poke Koma. My only regret is not being able to eat here more often. read more

Everytime I crave poke I always come here Food: I always get the large poke bowl which comes with 5 proteins. Their variety of of seafoods and bases keep me coming back. I used to do just rice but now I do a half rice half crab chips. The crab chips have a sort of popping sensation when you leave them on your tongue. I always get 2 scoops of salmon, 2 scoops of scallops and one scoop of octopus. I use the spicy marinade. I top it with crab salad, masago, crunchy onions, furikake. I also love their rose lychee tea. It's always super refreshing. Service: I've never had any issues with their service. I usually go when they're not super busy so they're pretty attentive and I don't have to wait. Ambiance: it's pretty casual space and probably not good for super large parties. But they can accommodate like 10-15 people in the restaurant from the seats that are available. read more

Im very particular about the poke I eat and I must say this was nice! This was my first time to this location & I love it so far. I noticed they give huge portions -- which is most definitely a plus. Also really loved that the avocado was free... you don't see that anywhere so 10/10 for that. The salmon was really buttery and fresh! The people who prepared my food were also very kind. 10/10 poke in my books. Beautiful location and nice people. Definitely reccomend read more

My new go to poke spot in the bay area! I walked in and there was no line, and the place was super clean. I appreciate the fact that they have several menus lying around to help you order, but everything also has a sign so you can clearly see all of the options for poke that they have. Unlike most Poké places their regular bowl includes three scoops of protein! I got a bunch of toppings and avocado is not extra! This place is really setting the bar high plus the salmon that I got was super fresh. As you can see from the photos I put a little bit of everything in my bowl, and I got it with a base of sushi rice and salad. There was so much that I couldn't even finish it. My total came to $18 but it was well worth it. If you want fresh poke and all the add-ons without the added price, go here now! Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Price: $18 total for regular bowl read more

Disappointed. Was looking for poke in Alameda and this placed looked promising. It had the most reviews and 4.5 stars... so - to here we headed! Nice and clean place... parking wasn't difficult to find. Ordered a large and got 2 scoops of salmon, 1 scoop spicy tuna, 1 scoop shrimp and 1 scoop scallop over the salad mix. Got roasted garlic miso and lemon ginger aoli sauces. 1) Not a lot of salad greens given. 2) Spicy tuna wasn't even mild - it was zero spice 3) the large was really small for $17 - like really really really really small - inside THE MARKET in DOWNTOWN SF -- they give you a tub for that price. How does Park Street Alameda location charge $17?!? 4) I said "green onions" as the option and they put the white onions too and was already mixing it 5) sauces didn't really stand out or taste bad. Nothing great and nothing bad tasting. I only gave it 2 stars because the poke was meh - the serving was super small - it was expensive and the attendant wasn't paying attention and added white onions when i didn't ask for it -- also -- gave me barely enough salad to eat with the scoops. Wanted to love the spot and have a solid place for poke in the area... but unfortunately this will be my 1st and last visit here. read more

First time here with my partner. We walk by it all the time and today my partner had the great idea to eat here. We each had the regular bowl with spring mix, seaweed salad,  salmon, tuna and topped spicy aioli sauce. She also had wasabi and the mild sauce where I added avocado and pickled ginger. Ok I haven't had many one bowls but I am thoroughly impressed. I am already thinking about what I want to pick next time from the extensive list of items. The staff was very polite and curteous even when questioning about our mask exemptions. Staff at a lot of places go completely nuts when you tell them you have an exemption and actually try to show it to them on the health department page. Not these 2 ladies. They handled it very professionally and we appreciate that! They have beer, wine, sake and black ice tea, without sugar. If I'm not drinking, sugar free black ice tea is my go to but hard to find sometimes. Prices are very reasonable @ $13.25 for a regular and $16.25 for a large. There is also a veggie bowl for 11.25 with tofu. We got there around 2:30 and only had 1 person in front of us. If it's lunch time I would be surprised if the line isn't out the door. As you can tell we'll be back multiple times. It's not The French Laundry but for what it is, it's a 5 star place. read more

I have not ordered any food from here. Yesterday, I was hungry for Good poke bowls and decided to see the qualities in terms of freshness, taste, and services are still the same as what I remembered. I ordered A regular poke bowl with brown rice, spicy tuna, regular tuna, and shrimps and all toppings Popcorn chicken A lion bake The food was very tasty and portion was just right ( not too small nor too big), the service was so quick and friendly. I will definitely be back soon. read more

My favorite poke spot! Loved it as a kid and love it as an adult the fish is fresh and everything is delicious

I think it's a pretty good deal to order through their website directly as opposed to DoorDash or any other convenience providers. Luckily, it's down the street from my job so I can just go and pick it up myself. They do ID you, so keep that in mind. I forgot my wallet last time but thankfully I had a picture of it in my phone. They validated that way as well. Very speedy service and a good deal for the protein options! read more

My favorite poke place EVER. Seriously, it's a winner winner. I am just so sad that it's all the way in alameda! ...but what a find. It is set up like any other poke bar. Choose your base, protein, veggies, toppings, sauce, etc. They offer crawfish which is different from other spots. I also love that they don't drown your bowl in sauce. The items are extremely fresh. I love the big chunks of fish and they give you plenty. The toppings are all on point and they aren't afraid to fill up your bowl and then some. Service is friendly and quick. Prices are competitive. Hardest thing about this place is parking. They offer musubis and some rolls although I've never tried them. If you're in the east bay, this is a must if you're craving a good ole poke bowl. read more

When: Saturday @ 3pm Warm day for poke, we order poke ahead through poke Koma online portal. The portal was easy to access and I did text notifications when poke is ready for pick up. It took about 30min for my poke to be ready. COVID PROTOCOL No indoor seating yet. Social distance enforced, mask enforced, hand sanitizers at the counter, staff wore masks and gloves. WHAT I ORDERED Scallop, salmon, tuna poke with most of the non-spicy toppings. I asked for sauces on the side, the staff packed it correctly. All scallops poke with all toppings with teriyaki sauce. It was expensive poke for sure, the total was $30.27, $13.25/bowl. The quantity and portion of the poke was large. You can finish it in 2 meals if you're not that hungry. I was hungry after 2hrs bike ride and finished my poke. read more

This place is a bit more on the expensive side compared to other poke places, BUT they've got some items I don't usually see on the menu of other poke places. For instance: crawfish, shrimp chips, jalapeño basil sauce, garlic miso sauce, lavender black tea, and taro ice cream. The girls at the front were fast and efficient; I was in and out of there in maybe 5 minutes tops. Looks like they also sell hot plates already made too. read more

Poke Koma - $14 regular size (3 protein) - Poke Near Me - Alameda, California

I called in an order, and was greeted with, "eat in or take out?" I started giving my order but was then cut off and told they don't do phone orders, which was pretty strange considering the start of the conversation. I then asked her if she could take my order anyway as I was already driving and was in a bit of a time crunch, to which she responded "sounds like a personal problem." I've eaten here plenty of times but after such rude ( non ) service I see no reason to go back, there are plenty of other poke places around who I'm sure actually believe in offering decent service. read more

Honestly extremely dissatisfied. The boba was rock hard and wasn't cooked well and literally was like chewing plastic. I ordered it with a guava tea and it literally was sugar water and tea that left my mouth super dry. The musubi - honestly just go to Berkeley bowl and get it cheaper and better tasting. This sucked, got the spam and egg and pork belly. FLAVORLESS. Their poke was also mediocre nothing special and way overpriced for not many toppings or protein options. Protein was horribly cut. Only thing that was good enough was the chicken katsu onagiri. Hence 1 star but would be no stars otherwise. read more

Poke Koma - Poke Near Me - Alameda, California

Not the best musubis but that's because I've been spoilt by very good musubis in Hawaii. But, this place is still pretty good for their musubis. 1) they don't load up so much rice compared to meat ratio. So it's balanced and you get good flavor with each bite. 2) their meat slices are thick. Imagine a 1/2 inch thick pork belly on top of your musubi!! Yes, go check it out. However the rice can be better. Something about the rice seemed a little less flavorful - could be the way their rice is made or just not the right type of rice. But it's not watery or overly sticky. So probably just not cooked how sushi rice should be cooked. read more

Located in the *busy* downtown of Alameda, Poke Koma offers a good poke option in the heart of the island. Decent poke bowl for under $12 ($11.96 for the regular bowl) which comes with 3 pretty large scoops of protein (ahi, yellowtail, salmon, shrimp, octopus, spicy tuna, crawfish, scallops, tofu). Toppings including avocado, masago, corn, seaweed salad, crab salad, green onions, fried shallots. I usually get the regular size since it fills me up real good, with half brown rice and half spring mix. I like raw fish, so I get the toro (ahi), hamachi (yellowtail), and sake (salmon), mixed with spicy aioli with all the toppings. The fish has been fresh from the few times I've been here. Unlike other poke bowl places, Poke Koma's avocado side is not extra, which is great because I love avocado! I usually get my bowl with extra green onions and fried shallots, so I'm always needing to eat gum right after :). As Poke Koma is located in the downtown area of Alameda, street parking can be tough during prime time eating hours. However, note that after 6 pm, metered parking is free and nearby residential parking stops enforcing the 2 hour time zone limits. I usually come here for a late dinner, so parking is never an issue for me. read more

Poke Koma - Poke Near Me - Alameda, California

This place has remained consistent! They have generous protein scoops. And they don't consider crab salad as one of the proteins like some other places. Why? Because crab salad, like the seaweed salad, is a side! They have nice size bites for octopus. They also have scallops. And even cray-fish. I like sticking to the usual salmon and octopus. And it always tastes super fresh. I just wish they had a gluten free sauce option. Or may be some Unagi sauce... As well as more choices for toppings. But, they again, the basics are great when your serving of protein and toppings aren't consumed in three bites. read more

Poke Koma is on the busy block of Park between Encinal & Central Straightforward Poke menu. $10.95 for regular (3 scoops of proteins https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/poke-koma-alameda?select=fzmVjs2Ryy2l9MiUTuP7KA), $13.95 for large (5 scoops) and you choose the base (rice, spring mix, crab chips), mild/spicy, toppings, sauce. They also have onigiri & musubi (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/poke-koma-alameda?select=qhUqJFmiWy5XX8jMLARKpg) and Shave Ice. Wine, sake, & beer including several Hawaiian options are also available (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/poke-koma-alameda?select=qCzwTBDYhHj2ORjsr4uZ5A) The scoops are decent sized; the regular fills a 24oz takeout container and is more than enough for lunch with leftovers for me (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/poke-koma-alameda?select=z72TlPRCvfWTK9DDIcQ5lg). Good value from the free toppings included in the price. Get one or all of them. Except for Teriyaki, all their sauces, even Lemon-Ginger, are creamy / mayo based, so I usually skip a sauce. read more

Looked for a quick pre-movie snack. Split a large Poke Bowl for $13.95 with my adult son. We were going to see a Tuesday movie at the Alameda Theatre for $5.50 each and did not want to take a RR break. Thus, split a bowl - they were nice to give us two smaller cardboard eating containers knowing we were splitting. Also bought two Spam Musubis for $2/each for movie snacking. Large bowl gets you 5 large protein scoops, regular gets you 3 large scoops. Plenty of protein choices and plenty of sauces and toppings. Crab Salad is considered a topping and not protein - yippee! They will put items on the side if you don't want to mix it immediately. For those who don't each Poke daily or weekly, you'll likely get all of the toppings and sauces. Sometimes that gets to be a bit too much and the taste gets muted. As they say "it all gets mixed up in the end anyway", well, you can dial back on the sides for a simpler meal. Overall, good, quick, service. Sufficient seating for a Poke shop, plenty of protein and topping choices. read more

Poke Koma - Large Bowl - 5 Proteins, Half Sushi Rice / Half Spring Mix, All Toppings, and Sauces. - Poke Near Me - Alameda, California

I was in the area, so I stopped by Poke Koma to pick up a quick lunch before work. I remembered liking them a lot back in they day, so I was excited to come back. Prices has increased a lot, and they are more expensive than any of the other poke places I have been to, even compared to ones in the city. It was over $20 for a large size, and you only get 2 extra proteins (5 proteins compared to 3 proteins in a regular bowl), and honestly the scoops are small, so it did not make a big difference. A regular bowl was over $15 already. I do have to say that I like that they have octopus and spicy tuna as proteins. I got 1 scoop of octopus, 3 scoops of salmon, and 1 scoop of spicy tuna as my proteins. They also have tofu, it was confusing because it is considered a protein, but they placed it in the section with all the sides. Crab salad, masago, and seaweed salad are my favorite sides, and I am always happy that they do not charge for them like some places. The poke tasted fresh and good, but I feel like $20 was a bit steep for such a small bowl even thought they called it a "large" bowl (the bowl is kind of shallow as well). read more

This spot has become my go-to alameda poke bowl location. The hardest thing about this spot is getting parking when picking it up - maybe have someone drive you they also check order name to an ID card... so plan wisely. Their fish is fresh and they load your bowls. I like putting a lettuce base because the 5 scoop is a lot of food. I like saucy and this spot delivers. You can adjust your sauce level as needed. Everyone that works here is really friendly. I highly recommend this eatery! read more

Options! I love me some options without an extra charge. You can create your own bowl. Their toppings and sauces all are included! And you get to choose 3 proteins which is plenty. I ordered a half & half bowl (rice & mixed greens) with tuna, salmon, and crawfish. I added avocado, cucumber, shallots, and seaweed. Drizzled with miso garlic sauce. A spam musubi too which was warm. The bowl was filling. The tuna and salmon was fresh and not fishy and the cut was generous. I couldn't finish the crawfish because it had more of a fishy taste. The spam musubi was made fresh and reminded me of Hawai'i. It was warm and had a perfect ratio of rice and spam. You can't really mess up on poke unless the fish isn't fresh which wasn't the case. A bonus about this place over others is they don't charge extra for anything! I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area. P.S. no tvs, many long tables for communal or big parties, and they have 1 bathroom. The menu is set up to be read from left to right which is unnatural for many of us, but it's the way the bar is set up. read more

I had a pregnancy craving for poke and this place seemed pretty well accredited so I decided to give it a chance. The poke definitely tasted fresh which is what really matters when eating poke. I had salmon, ahi tuna and spicy tuna. The spicy tuna was a lot more spicy than other poke places I've had but still enjoyable. The bowl itself was good, I just wish they had mango as a topping. What I like about this place is they offer other "ready to go" options like masubis and sushi bakes. I ordered a spam musubi and I also ordered popcorn chicken for my kids. The popcorn chicken took about 15 minutes to make which would have been fine if I didn't park in a 15 minutes only parking spot as I wasn't planning on staying any longer than to order a bowl, so I'll definitely be ordering ahead next time. The place looked very clean which is a plus, but I wish the workers didn't stare so much lol. I felt like my son was being eyed down by one lady because he was playing around but also just the vibe just didn't feel "welcoming" or maybe it was a tough day but I'll be ordering for pick up next time anyways so it's fine! read more

Gotta start off by saying how much I love that they have wonton chips as a topping! It was the first time I'd seen that at a poke spot. I love any kind of chips so this was a treat. I got a regular bowl with 3 proteins and it was a solid dinner choice to-go. My only qualm was that it was really pricey - bowls start at $12.95. Service was really friendly and quick. There was no one else there at 8PM on a weeknight when I stopped by. Metered street parking out front. read more

It was so good. Th combinations of flavours and variety of substances was really splendid. The only thing I felt was missing was the base, it's a very thin layer of sushi rice that I had. Prices is way too high but I guess we pay for the protein which is understandable. Wonder if there's a vegetarian option. Will I come? Most definitely yes and I'll invite my loved ones. read more
